Reminders & notifications
Class reminders, daily summaries, task and exam reminders, and how they behave.
MySched can send a reminder before each class, an optional daily summary, and reminders for tasks and exams.
Class reminders
Turn them on in You ▸ Settings ▸ Notifications ▸ Class reminders. Choose 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes before class. You can also set a leave-now buffer for the first class of the day.
Class reminders can include:
- I'm here: saves a Present check-in.
- Snooze 10 min: sends another reminder in 10 minutes.
If notifications are blocked, the reminder cannot appear.
On Android, class reminders use the class-reminders notification channel, and a battery-saving setting can also make a reminder late. An ongoing notification can also stay visible while a class is in progress, with check-in actions.
Daily summary
Under You ▸ Settings ▸ Notifications, you can turn on:
- Morning summary: the day's classes.
- Evening preview: tomorrow's first class and class count.
Choose the time for each one. The evening preview is off by default.
Task and exam reminders
A task can remind you at its due time, or 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before. See Tasks. An exam can remind you before it starts; the default is 60 minutes. See Exams.
About the notification limit
iPhone and iPad limit each app to 64 scheduled reminders. MySched shares that pool across class reminders, summaries, attendance warnings, and task reminders, so when the pool fills up, the furthest-out reminders can be dropped or replaced by closer ones. The class or task itself stays in the app, but its reminder may never fire.
If reminders are late or missing on Android, check that MySched notifications are allowed and that battery or "do not disturb" settings are not delaying them.
Next steps
- Attendance: an I'm here check-in from a notification counts as Present.
- Tasks: set a reminder on a task with a due date.
